Giveaways you might be interested in:

Today is the last day to enter the giveaway for this book. It looks really good and I thought you might be interested in it. We need to introduce our children to HEROES that stand for what they believe in - not for how many baskets they can hit, how skimpy their clothes are, or how many times they've gotten arrested for shooting someone or getting caught with drugs!

We are created by a great God to do great works. He invites us to outlive our lives, not just in heaven, but here on earth.- Max Lucado

Seven Miles to Freedomby Janet HalfmannIllustrated by Duane SmithISBN: 9781600602320

Growing up a slave in South Carolina, Robert Smalls always dreamed of the moment freedom would be within his grasp. Now that moment was here.

Robert stood proudly at the Planter's wheel. Only 7 miles of water lay between the ship and the chance of freedom in Union territory. With precision and amazing courage, he navigated past the Confederate forts in the harbor and steered the ship toward the safety of the Union fleet. Just one miscalculation would be deadly, but for Robert, his family and his crewmates, the risk was worth taking.

Seven Miles to Freedom is the compelling account of the daring escape of Robert Smalls, a slave steamboat wheelman who became one of the Civil War's greatest hereos. His steadfast courage in the face of adversity is an inspiring model for all who attempt to overcome seemingly insurmountable challenges.
